Stuck at Ritualist 6 Despite Positive Win Rate – Is This a Bug?

[Glow1231]

Hey everyone,
I recently came back to Deadlock after taking a break since last November. Before the break I was in Phantom, but after a few games on the new update I ended up at Ritualist because my rank and skill have decayed. Since then, I’ve been grinding game after game, mostly on my main hero, Holiday.


Now here’s what I'm not understanding about ranked:

• I’ve got about a 57% win rate on Holiday
• Despite this, my rank hasn’t budged at all. I’m hard-stuck at Ritualist 4-6.
• When I queue with my friend (he’s Emissary), we get into higher-level lobbies, from archon to oracle and we still win — and he ranks up, but I don’t, even when we won an oracle game my rank did not budge. game in question:42534793 I was holliday

It’s not like I’m losing a ton either. Whether I win or lose, my rank barely moves. Win streaks don’t seem to make much of a difference either.
I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Is this how the current matchmaking/rank system is supposed to work, or could it be a bug with my account? If it’s just about needing a massive win streak to climb, that’s fine — I’ll grind it out. But right now it just feels like my rank is frozen no matter what.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any dev insight would also be great.
Thanks in advance!

Because Valve in the infinite knowledge decided to make the MMR more "Sure" you're at the rank you should be the older your account. They basically introduced a bias so that your rank stays around whatever you're at. I won 5 games in a row and climbed 1 rank. I lost 2 in a row and dropped 3 ranks. It's just dogshit MM
